Beemster® awarded at the International Cheese & Dairy Awards 2026

We are proud to share that Beemster® has once again been recognized at the International Cheese & Dairy Awards 2026.

Three Gold Awards were presented to our cheeses. Beemster X-O- received one Gold award, while Beemster® Royaal Grand Cru stood out by winning two Gold Awards.

The two Gold Awards for Beemster® Royaal Grand Cru are an extra special recognition. Earlier this year, it was named Best Cheese in the World at the World Championship Cheese Contest. Together, these awards are a wonderful confirmation of its rich, full flavor and exceptional quality. The Gold Award for Beemster® X-O- highlights the unique character and rich taste of one of our most distinctive aged cheeses.

The International Cheese & Dairy Awards are among the world’s most respected cheese competitions. Every cheese is judged by an expert panel on flavor, aroma, texture and appearance. Only cheeses that truly stand out receive a Gold Award.

These awards are a wonderful recognition of everyone behind Beemster®. Every day, our cheesemakers and colleagues put care, time and attention into making the very best cheese. Beemster® continues to be recognized for its rich taste and exceptional quality.
